5.67

Answer: When understanding of the aggregates arises, it is not distinctly separate, but is still subsumed under the aggregates and sense-bases. If one clings to this understanding, it pertains to views. If, based on this understanding, attachment and anger arise, it pertains to defilements; if it invites illness or brings Māra, one judges them specifically according to the circumstances. If understanding arises brightly without the characteristics of the nine realms, this is the atmosphere of calming and contemplation. It can only be general or specific, but cannot be both general and specific.
